使用数据指针，以读/写SRAM
abstract: the maxq-based microcontroller uses data pointers to read and write to sram. this application note describes how to move data from program memory to the sram, and how to access the data from sram using the data pointers.
introductionthis application note describes how to write two words of data to sram, using data pointers dp[0] and bp[offs]. the data is then read back into the maxq's accumulators from sram using the same data pointers, and a logical and is performed on the two registers.
getting startedto begin, you need basic knowledge about the maxq architecture, register map, and instruction set, which can be obtained from the maxq family user's guide or from any maxq-based microcontroller data sheet. a good example is the maxq2000 data sheet. you also need to reference accessing data memory which is in the maxq family user's guide. basic familiarity with assembly language in general, and with maxq assembler in particular, is assumed.
data pointer overviewthere are three data pointers available on a maxq-based microcontroller: dp[0], dp[1], and bp[offs]. each of these data pointers can be configured to either word- or byte-access modes by setting the corresponding bit in the data point control (dpc) register.
name function
dp[0] data pointer 0
dp[1] data pointer 1
bp[offs] frame pointer base
offs offset of frame pointer base
dpc data pointer control
sdps0
sdps1 00b selects dp[0] as active pointer
01b selects dp[1] as active pointer
10b selects bp as active pointer
wbs0 dp[0] word mode wbs0=1, byte mode wbso=0
wbs1 dp[1] word mode wbs1=1, byte mode wbso=0
wbs2 bp word mode wbs2=1, byte mode wbso=0
register bit position
dp[0] dp[0] (16 bits)
dp[1] dp[1] (16 bits)
bp bp = bp[offs] (16 bits)
offs - - - - offs (8 bits)
dpc dpc (16 bits)
- - - wbs2 wbs1 wbs0 sdps1 sdps0
the three pointers share a single read/write port on the data memory, and thus the user must knowingly activate the desired pointer before accessing memory. this can be done explicitly using the data select bits (sdps2:0; dpc.1:0), or implicitly by writing to the dp[n], bp, or offs register as shown below. any indirect memory access using a data pointer will also set the sdps bits, thus activating the pointer as the active source pointer.
move dpc, #2 ;(explicit) selection of bp as the active pointer move dp[1], dp[1] ;(implicit) selection of dp[1]; set sdps1: 0=01b move offs, src ;(implicit) selection of bp; set sdps1=1 move @dp[0],src ;(implicit) selection of dp[0]; set sdps1:0=00b
increment/decrement data pointerdata pointers can be updated using pre- and post-increment/decrement operator with a register or a virtual nul destination. data pointer increment/decrement operation can be done as follows:
move nul, @dp[0]++ ;increment dp[0] move nul, @dp[1]-- ;decrement dp[1] move nul, @bp[offs++] ;increment frame pointer base + offset + 1 move @++dp[0], a[1] ;increment address and store a[1] at new address ;note: only the pre-increment/decrement can be ;used ;when writing to memory move a[1], @dp[1]-- ;reads value from dp[1] and store in a[1] then ;decrement ;note: only the post-increment/decrement can be ;used ;when reading from memory code example move 2 words to sram using dp[0]. 5555h is moved to the first word of sram, referenced by int_var1; aaaah is moved to the second word of sram, referenced by int_var2. var_1 and var_2 are read back from sram into accumulator a[0] and a[1].

move 2 bytes to sram using dp[1]. 55h is moved to the first byte of sram, referenced by int_var1; aah is moved to the second byte of sram, referenced by int_var2. var_1 and var_2 are read back from sram into accumulator a[0] and a[1].

move 2 words to sram using bp[offs]. 5555h is moved to the first word of sram, referenced by int_var1; aaaah is moved to the second word of sram, referenced by int_var2. var_1 and var_2 are read back from sram into accumulator a[0] and a[1].
